Which of the following statements is true?

Question 14 options:

If N/Z ratio equals 1, the nuclide is stable.

If N/Z ratio is lies somewhere below 1, the nuclide is stable.

If N/Z ratio is too low, there are too many neutrons and the nuclide will undergo beta decay.

If N/Z ratio is too high, there are too many protons and the nuclide will undergo alpha decay.

If N/Z ratio is too low, there are too many protons and the nuclide will undergo positron emission or electron capture.

1)

If N/Z ratio equals 1, the nuclide is stable.

2)

If N/Z ratio is lies somewhere below 1, the nuclide is stable.

3)

If N/Z ratio is too low, there are too many neutrons and the nuclide will undergo beta decay.

4)

If N/Z ratio is too high, there are too many protons and the nuclide will undergo alpha decay.

5)

If N/Z ratio is too low, there are too many protons and the nuclide will undergo positron emission or electron capture.

Explanation / Answer

(1)

If N/Z ration is equals to 1 , the nuclide is stable.

If the ratio is less than 1:1 and grater than 1:5 the nuclide is unstabel and undergo decay.
